Police arrested a man obsessed with trains and buses in Brooklyn for allegedly stealing a Greyhound bus out of the Port Authority Bus Terminal, NBC reports.

Greyhound was able to track the bus in Brooklyn using GPS. They pulled it over at 3rd Ave. and Union St.

Darius McCollum, 50, who has been a mega-fan of transport since he was a small child, has been arrested 29 times in the past. He has been diagnosed with Asperger Syndrome.

According to Wikipedia, McCollum had memorized the entire NYC subway system by the age of 7.

He has been rejected for employment by Transit Authority on numerous
occasions, although he is reported to know more about the trains,
schedules, procedures and rail operations than any current employee, according to Wikipedia.

He is known for wearing a mass transit employee uniform and courteously assisting customers and answering questions, or driving trains undetected for days, and has even become a bit of a cult figure.
